I would like to see a column on that page specifying "Why me?" Basically,
what role/hat do I have which causes this to apply to me? I'd suggest
something like, one of: [Director, President, EVP, Treasurer, Secretary,
Asst $foo, Officer, VP $bar]

I mean... I know why I'm supposed to make the affirmation. But Members
performing review may not understand why a given person is on the list.
Shoot... even somebody on the list who gets a reminder may not have read
all the background emails and Board minutes, to understand "you're VP $bar,
so this applies to you".

After reading it, I was thinking that I might append to my "gstein.txt"
output with a further declaration. I've got svn skills to go hit the file
and do the edits (which may be an interesting concern for audit trail
purposes). I'd append to clarify/disclose my investment(s), and further
affirm they are immaterial to the ASF.

So that leads to: should there be a "further declarations" section? Or
would that just confuse things? And/or just let people hit svn directly to
do such? Which also leads to: should people be allowed to edit their file
via svn? That records an audit trail, so it isn't really a big deal. But
likely something to explicitly consider.

Cheers,
